HELP KILL KITTY WARDWELL?
>> KITTY'S IN THE BACK ROW WITH
THE BOYS.
SHE'S SO TALL.
DAVID: LINDA CURRIER SAYS
THERE'S A GOOD REASON HER SISTER
KITTY, NINE YEARS HER SENIOR,
WENT TO MODELING SCHOOL.
>> SHE WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO
BE 5'9", AND SHE WAS ALWAYS
THIN.
DAVID: SHE ALSO REMEMBERS THE
DAY IN 1983 WHEN HER SISTER
DISAPPEARED.
>> I KNEW IN MY HEART RIGHT THEN
AND THERE THAT SOMETHING WAS
WRONG.
DAVID: KITTY WAS LAST SEEN WITH
FRANK JULIAN.
JULIAN TOLD POLICE HE AND KITTY
WERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WHEN THEY
CHECKED INTO A MOTEL AND HAD A
DISAGREEMENT.
JULIAN SAID SOMEONE CAME AND
PICKED KITTY UP WHILE HE
RETURNED TO MAINE.
>> THEY NEVER FOUND ANY RECORD
OF KITTY BEING AT THE MOTEL.
DAVID: WEEKS SOON TURNED TO
YEARS.
RETIRED DETECTIVE BRIAN STRO
WORKED THE CASE INTERVIEWING
JULIAN.
>> HE WAS VERY PLEASANT AND
CORDIAL.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SAID,
WHEN YOU GET SOMETHING, COME
BACK AND SEE ME.
DAVID: BUT THAT MEETING NEVER
HAPPENED.
JULIAN DIED IN OCTOBER 201
WEEKS LATER, HIS FAMILY WENT TO
CLEAN OUT THIS STORAGE LOCKER IN
LEWISTON
INSIDE, A FREEZER.
>> THEY GO IN AND OPEN THE
FREEZER, AND GET THE SURPRISE OF
THEIR LIVES.
>> THE THOUGHT NEVER CROSSED MY
MIND, THAT THE MAN WOULD HAVE
KEPT HER ALL THOSE YEARS IN A
FREEZER.
HER REMAINS WERE REFERRED TO AS
"LIQUIFIED."
THE ONLY THING SHE HAD ON HER
BODY WAS A PAIR OF SOCKS.
DAVID: THE FREEZER UNPLUGGED.
ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS,
JULIAN FIRST RENTED THE UNIT IN
1992, NINE YEARS AFTER KITTY
DISAPPEARED.
>> I HAD A PRETTY GOOD IDEA THAT
IT WAS MR. JULIAN BASED ON
PREVIOUS INTERVIEWS, BUT HE WAS
DECEASED.
NO CHANCE TO INTERVIEW HIM.
DAVID: BUT WITH THEIR PERSON OF
INTEREST DEAD, QUESTIONS MOVED
FROM WHO KILLED KITTY, TO WHO
KNOWS MORE THAN THEY'RE SAYING.
>> THAT FREEZER WAS MOVED.
COULD SOMEBODY HAVE HELPED HIM
NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS IN THERE?
ABSOLUTELY.
COULD SOMEBODY HAVE HELPED HIM
KNOWING WHAT WAS IN THERE?
ABSOLUTELY.
DAVID: STATE POLICE SAY KITTY'S
HOMICIDE CASE REMAINS OPEN.
WE ASKED FOR THE DOCUMENTS
RELATED TO THE CASE AND WERE
TOLD IT WOULD COMPROMISE THE
STATE'S ABILITY TO FURTHER THE
INVESTIGATION SO AS TO REACH A
JUST CONCLUSION.
A CHECK OF THE UNSOLVED
HOMICIDE LIST, KITTY'S NAME IS
NOT THERE.
BUT THERE'S HOPE SOMEONE SAW
SOMETHING THAT COULD PROVIDE
ANSWERS.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER BE
ABLE TO DO THAT.
BUT I'LL TELL THE FAMILY THAT
IT'S NOT BECAUSE ME OR MY
BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE
STATE POLICE HAVE NOT TRIED.
DAVID: AND FOR LINDA, SHE'S
KEEPING HER SISTER'S MEMORY
ALIVE, KNOWING THAT THE STORY OF
HER DEATH WILL NEVER DIE.
>> I WOULD WANT THAT PERSON
BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.
I WOULD WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING
THAT PERSON KNEW.
I DO NOT WANT HER TO BE
FORGOTTEN.
DAVID: WE REACHED OUT TO MEMBERS
OF FRANK JULIAN'S FAMILY, ALL OF
WHOM EITHER DID NOT RESPOND OR
DECLINED TO BE PART OF THIS
STORY.
STATE POLICE DECLINED AN ON
CAMERA INTERVIEW BECAUSE THE
